from the two-party perspective, they are very suspicious of washington republicans because washington republicans would love to use them, but then not adopt many of their policies. the wall street reform bill is a case in point. i would bet a lot of money that if you were to ask most of the tea party movement whether they want to rein in the power of wall street and make sure taxpayers are never left holding the bag again, they would say let's rated in. yet not a single republican in the house voted for wall street reform and in the senate, only four republicans voted for it. that's not something the t party movement is going to take kindly i don't think because it clearly shows mitch mcconnell and the houseeleader, when they met with bankers and said they're going to try to slow down the effort, they did. they tried to slow it down. we have overcome that, at least so far, but that's not something that is going to bring a smile to the tea party movement's base, the idea of the republican leadership huddling with big wall street bankers and lobbyists. >> wouldn't you democrats like to
